"While ll have above described the preferred form, construction and arrangement of the several elements employed, it will be understood that the device is, nevertheless, susceptible oli considerablev modification therein, and l therefore reserve the privilege of resorting to all such changes as may be fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as 'ich lows:

l. In a storm hose of the class described, an elastic member and a second elastic member attached thereto, directly below the knee and at the upper edge thereof respectively, and extending longitudinally around the outer surface thereof, e third elastic `member slidebly positioned over the outer member, so es to insure a (rood fitting device.

2. 1n a storm hose of tthe class described, a leg element, an outer member adapted to cover the knee portion thereof, an elastic member and a second elastic member ettaehed at the u per and lower edges of the said outer mem r, the said elastic member and second elastic member being also at tached to the storm hose, and a third elastic retenes member slidebly positioned over the said outer member.

3. In a stormhose of the class described, a leg element, an outer member adapted to cover the knee portion thereof, an elastic member and a second elastic member etA taehed at the u )per and lower edges of the said outer mem ier, the said elastic member and vsecond elastic member being also attached to the storm hose, so as to form a pocket. a selftti1ig member adapted to fit the knee of e wearer, said selfditting member being positioned in the said pocket so as to permit the selflitting member to slide therein to accommodate the said Wearers knee.

d. ln a storm hose of the class described, a leg element, an outer member adapted to cover the knee portion thereof, an elastic member and a second elastic member attached et the upper and lower edges of the said outer member, the said elastic member and second elastic member being lalso attached to the storm hose, so as to form a pocket, a selflitti11g member adapted to t the knee of a wearer, protecting strips attached to the inner and outer surfaces o the self-litting member, said self-fitting member being positioned in the seid pocket so as to permit the self-fitting member to slide therein to accommodate thesaid wearers mee.
